Abstract: The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019 brought about unprecedented changes to higher education.

In order to understand the effect of online teaching, this research uses qualitative research methods to study online learning of students in a certain university, and selects four case classes with different learning abilities. After conducting a comparative analysis of final exam scores, student questionnaire surveys and interviews, analysis of the effectiveness of students' online learning of the course, the results show that students' online learning performance is positively correlated with the scores of the preceding courses, and the online learning duration is positively correlated. Online learning is more suitable for students with strong self-disciplineand three suggestions are given for effective teaching in the future.
